Today’s Beast Game Idea: Beast Boxing Turbo

Share this:

I’ve always said that the PC needs more first-person boxing games, and so I must extend my gratitude to Good Hustle, developers Beast Boxing Turbo. It’s not hard to guess where they take the game: you box lizards, you box trolls, you box skeletons, you box demons – all in a lovely hand-drawn art style. It’s just about beasts getting a thump up the bracket, basically. And they look good while they’re doing it. I am not sure how “turbo” relates to it, but I am guessing it’s one of those suffixes that are automatically added to games dependent on genre, without any real reason.

Anyway, you’re probably definitely going to want to see skeletons get punched with bright-red boxing gloves, so there’s a video below for that. The game will be released “soon”.

I was just thinking that it would seem quite unsatisfying to play a game like this just clicking away at the mouse buttons….But two mice = move the arms? That makes it sound not just playable, but stupidly fun.

Why *aren’t* there any games that use two mice? Why is that not a thing? (Maybe there are and I just don’t know it?)

In my case, the name Arena didn’t ring any bells, but as soon as I’ve seen ‘Lt. Commander Ivanova’ in there, it has all come to me. Funnily enough, I hadn’t really forgotten about this movie, but for some reason my memories of it had been mixed with Robot Jox, which, sure enough, is listed on the related videos column as well.
